IHSH-64 - Extra Heavy Jersey Western Sweat Shirt

That’s what my tag looks like, but the snaps don’t have a lick of indigo on em

[sabergirl]

FWIW I think that one looks indigo, but I’m not sure you’ll ever really be able to tell unless you wash the crap out of it a lot

[Mizmazzle]

@sabergirl whoops. Sorry Ann(e) I forgot to tag you.
Your tag def has some indigo staining on it. That’s a tale tell sign no doubt.

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle if I HAD to guess id say yours looks like faded navy but im no expert

Im pretty sure mine is faded navy and it has no staining of the tag or dye in the button printing

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE thanks for your input man. Seems maybe the tag having dye or not might be the defining characteristic.

Seems @sabergirl ’s has lost its indigo in the letting on the snaps but has a tag with overdye on it.

These are the only two identifiers I am aware of…

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle the only way to find out for sure is to put a decade of hard wear into it.....

[pechelman]

I don't think this is worth the trouble. It's definitely not the color you want so you should send it to me for disposal.

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman haha. Let me give it the decade of hard wear @GraemeE suggested and I’ll see where my thoughts are at that point.

[Giles]

I really don't know.

Images from the listing.

I found an indigo(?) one on ebay and told @Mizmazzle I was going to pass (I actually thought it was the same one he posted but this one is XL). Then I was shot an offer from the seller...and I made a counter offer to them, which was accepted in two minutes. $230 ain't bad eh? Now to find out what all the fuss is about.

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia congrats man! Hope you love it. Style and comfort perfectly combined.

Sucks mine has fallen through. The whole thing went sideways.

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle yeah man now I am wondering if this one is navy or indigo. Were there both?

[Mizmazzle]

@Oaktavia yup! It’s hard to decipher between the two though it seems.
The indigo version had indigo residue left on the snaps and they had a blue hue to them. Seems that may wear off over time though. Also the white tag on the side seam has overdye indigo when new. Similar to other OD’d garments. That might wear off over time as well.
To further complicate things…the navy lightens and fades with wear over time similar to the indigo. Haha. Sooo…

[Oaktavia]

@Mizmazzle oh hell yeah okay cool that helps me understand a bit more. Navy or indigo, this point I'm not sure it matters to me a whole lot with this particular shirt. Especially if they look so similar after they are faded anyway.

oh no, what happened?

[mclaincausey]

Man, what a drag Mark.

I do think the indigo would edge out the navy for me all else being equal, just because I’ve seen the evo of indigo dipped fleece (I have an IH dipped hoodie).

That said, can’t go wrong with either.
